The largest part of the brain; responsible for thinking, memory, emotions, decision-making, movement, and your senses

A smaller, rounded structure at the back of the brain that controls balance, coordination, and fine muscle movements

The lower part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord; it controls basic life functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion

A part of the brain stem that helps relay messages between different parts of the brain and plays a role in breathing, sleep, and facial expressions

The lowest part of the brain stem; it controls vital automatic functions like heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and swallowing

A region of the cerebrum responsible for processing touch, temperature, pain, and spatial awareness

The part of the cerebrum at the back of the head responsible for vision and visual processing.

The front region of the cerebrum involved in decision-making, planning, problem-solving, personality, and voluntary movement.

A region of the cerebrum located near the ears, responsible for hearing, memory, and language understanding.

A strip of the frontal lobe that controls voluntary muscle movements.

A strip of the parietal lobe that receives and processes sensory information from the body, such as touch and pressure.

A thick band of nerve fibers that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain, allowing them to communicate.

A small hormone-producing gland at the base of the brain often called the “master gland” because it controls many other glands in the body.

A relay center for the brain that processes and sends sensory information to the appropriate parts of the cerebrum.

A small but important region that regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, sleep, and hormone release; it helps maintain homeostasis.

A curved structure within the temporal lobe involved in forming and storing new memories and learning.
